Idea Capture

Create a structured idea page under pages/ideas/ + today's journal entry.

---

Steps

0. Read graph root

grep '^graph_root=' ~/.logseq-plugin-config 2>/dev/null | cut -d= -f2

If empty, tell the user to run /setup and stop.

1. Extract the content

Everything after the trigger phrase is the idea. E.g.:

• "/idea — build a CLI that generates Logseq templates from git history" → the full idea
• "I have an idea: offline-first sync using CRDTs" → after the colon

If nothing follows, ask: "What's the idea?"

Generate page slug: lowercase, hyphenated (e.g. logseq-template-generator). Generate short title: 3–6 words.

2. Create the idea page

date "+%Y-%m-%d"
date "+%H:%M"

File: $GRAPH_ROOT/pages/ideas/[slug].md

# [Short title]
logged:: [[YYYY-MM-DD]]
status:: raw
tags:: #idea [#dx / #frontend / #backend / #product — infer from context]

## The Idea
	- [full idea verbatim]

## Problem It Solves
	-

## Why It Matters
	-

## Rough Next Steps
	- TODO 

## Open Questions
	-

Leave all sections except "The Idea" blank — the user fills them in.

3. Update today's journal under ## Notes

date "+%Y_%m_%d"

Append:

- ## Notes
	- `HH:MM` Idea: [[ideas/[slug]]] — [short title] #idea
	  logged:: [[YYYY-MM-DD]]

4. Confirm in one sentence

"Idea captured at ideas/[slug]."

Rules

• Tabs for block indentation
• logged:: uses dashes (2026-05-14)
• Capture the idea verbatim in "The Idea" section — don't rephrase or expand
• Leave Problem, Why It Matters, Next Steps blank — don't fill from AI inference
• status:: raw on creation; user upgrades to exploring, building, or parked
